Suction system for bathrooms

ABSTRACT

A suction system which comprises an extractor element which is functionally connected in input to a flushing pipe of a flusher of a toilet bowl and in output to a space located outside the room in which the bowl is provided. The extractor element comprises a box-like container, which is provided with an inspection cover and inside which there is a compartment for accommodating an extractor in which the intake port is connected to the flushing pipe of the flusher and the discharge port is connected to a pipe for connection to the space outside the room or other vents; electrical and electronic means for supplying power and managing the system are provided within the box-like container.

The present invention relates to an odor and humid air suction system for bathrooms.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As is known, one of the livability problems of bathrooms is linked to their ventilation.

In rooms used as bathrooms, there is in fact the need to ventilate the room often, in order to eliminate both the bad odors related to body functions and to eliminate the humidity that forms when using hot water for showers, bathtubs, whirlpool pools, et cetera.

These rooms are generally either provided with windows or are windowless.

Typically, in order to ventilate rooms provided with windows it is necessary to open the windows and the door for the time required for ventilation, which is generally rather long.

It is evident that this operation is scarcely useful, since it is usually performed after the user has already experienced the negative effects of the bad odors or humidity that have already saturated the room.

Further, opening the windows and the door leads to a decrease in winter and an increase in summer of the temperature of the rooms, with obvious physical discomfort, such as drafts, colds and others, and with obvious economic waste.

Windowless rooms are generally provided with an extractor which is arranged on the ceiling or on a wall of the room and is usually controlled manually by means of the light switch.

Such extractor draws air from the room and sends it outside through pipes specifically designed and preset beforehand.

The use of this extractor is not ideal for solving the problems of bad odors.

The user, while performing body functions, is in fact inevitably affected by the organic bad odors that the user is producing; further, the time needed to extract the amount of air useful for replacement is considerable.

The organic odors that originate from the toilet bowl require rapid aspiration to prevent them from being inhaled by the user who is performing other activities after performing body function, but the time for which the user remains inside the room is shorter than the time needed to change the air.

In order to obviate these drawbacks and solve these problems, an attempt has often been made to devise different solutions, and various systems have been conceived and studied but have never been provided at the production level except as prototypes.

Among these solutions, mention is to be made of those studied to extract odors through channels or holes formed in the appropriately provided lids of toilet bowls.

Other solutions provide toilet bowls studied specifically for the purpose, with shapes and dimensions which are strange and difficult to provide.

An attempt has also been made to extract the stale air, filter it, fragrance it and then return it into the room.

Other solutions are to extract the odors directly from inside the bowl and expel them through pipes, but considerable problems are encountered due mainly to the various types and constructive shapes of toilet bowls, problems created by the stagnation of water inside the lower part of the flushing pipe (said water blocks completely or partially the cross-section of the end part of the flushing pipe, limiting or eliminating extraction; this problem is caused by the difference in level between the outlet of the water in the end part of the flushing pipe and the inlet of said water into the toilet bowl).

All these solutions and systems have had extremely limited possibilities for use, also due to problems related to their structural invasiveness, poor aesthetics, problems in assembly in building yards, and economy in general.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The aim of the present invention is to solve the problems linked to suction systems for bathrooms of the known type.

Within this aim, an object of the present invention is to provide a suction system for bathrooms which allows to aspirate, if needed, both from the flushing pipe of the flusher of the toilet bowl and in the room where the toilet bowl is arranged.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a suction system for bathrooms which is structurally simple and easy to install and maintain.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, a suction system for bathrooms, according to the invention, is generally designated by the reference numeral 10.

The system 10 is constituted by extractor means 11 (described hereinafter), which are functionally connected in input to a flushing pipe 12 of a flusher cistern 13 of a toilet bowl 14 (of the floor-mounted type) and in output to a pipe for connection to the space outside a room 15, which in this embodiment is connected to a duct 15 a for discharging the wastewater of the toilet bowl 14.

In particular, in this embodiment the flushing pipe 12 of the flusher cistern 13 is formed by a first substantially vertical portion 16, which connects the bottom of the cistern 13, and a second substantially horizontal transverse portion 17, which connects the first substantially vertical portion 16 to the inside of the toilet bowl 14.

In this example, the cistern 13 is of the type which is external to the wall against which the toilet bowl is placed, and the first substantially vertical portion 16 and the second transverse portion 17 of the flushing pipe 12 are external as well.

A duct 18 extends from the second transverse portion 17 of the flushing pipe 12, is internal to the wall, and connects the extractor means 11 to the inlet.

Means 19 for draining the water accumulated in the flushing pipe 12 after discharging the flusher are associated with the flushing pipe 12 of the flusher of the toilet bowl 14.

The draining means 19 are constituted for example by a narrow pipe 20 which is connected, from the bottom of the second transverse portion 17 of the flushing pipe 12, to a point, at a lower hydraulic height than the bottom of the second transverse portion 17, of the pipe 15 for connection to the space outside the room (in this embodiment, the discharge duct 15 a for the wastewater of the toilet bowl 14).

In this manner, any water which may remain in the flushing pipe 12 is eliminated directly in the wastewater and the extraction section provided by the cross-section of said discharge pipe is always the largest, thus allowing optimum extraction.

The narrow tube 20 is advantageously shaped like a siphon so as to avoid the rise of bad odors from the pipe 15 for connection to the space outside the room.

It is evident that in other embodiments, the pipe 15 for connection to the space outside the room might not be connected to the duct for the wastewater of the toilet bowl but to other water drains or also to stacks for venting outside the building in which the bathroom is provided (in this case, the draining means must in any case be connected to a drain at a hydraulic height which is equal to, or lower than, the discharge pipe of the flusher).

The extractor means 11 comprise a box-like container 21 (clearly visible from the outside in FIG. 3 and from the inside in FIG. 4), which is provided with an inspection cover 22 (not shown in FIG. 1) and inside which there is a compartment 23 for accommodating an extractor 24 of the centrifugal type, the intake port 25 of which opens onto the compartment 23, while the discharge port 26 is connected directly to the pipe 15 for connection to the space outside the room.

The compartment 23 is connected directly to the flushing pipe 12 of the flusher by means of the duct 18.

In this example, the box-like container 21 is of the type for recessed wall mounting, but it can be arranged equivalently completely outside the wall.

The suction system further comprises one-way means 27 (clearly shown in FIG. 4) for the bad odors from the drain of said system, which are constituted by a valve which consists of an oscillating plate 28 which is arranged in an upper region in abutment against the edges 29 of an opening located at the discharge port 26 of the extractor.

The oscillating plate 28 is raised by the air pressure when the extractor is on and moves downward, blocking the discharge port of the extractor, when said extractor is off, thus avoiding the return of the air.

Advantageously, in this embodiment the extractor means 11 comprise a flow diverter 30, which can be actuated and is adapted to alternately connect the inlet of the extractor means 11 to the flushing pipe 12 of the flusher or to the room in which the toilet bowl 14 is arranged.

The flow diverter 30 allows to extract air either directly from the toilet bowl, thus eliminating bad odors, or directly from the room.

In this manner it is possible, by means of a single extractor, to allow to extract either bad odors or the humid air that forms in the room during a shower and personal hygiene in general (this can occur automatically, as described better hereinafter).

As is evident, this concept is independent of the specific embodiment of the extractor means that is exemplified here, but can be applied to different embodiments.

With reference to the structure of the described extractor means, in the compartment 23 formed in the box-like container 21 in which the extractor 24 is accommodated there is a first port 32, which is connected directly to the flushing pipe 12 of the flusher, and there is a second port 33, which is connected to the room in which the toilet bowl 14 is provided; the flow diverter 30 allows to block alternately the first port 32 or the second port 33 in order to allow the extractor 24 to perform extraction from the flushing pipe 12 or from the room.

In particular, the second port 33 is formed by a plurality of openings 34 in the closure cover 22 of the box-like container 21, while the first port is formed on a plane which lies at an angle with respect to the plane on which the second port 33 is formed.

In this embodiment, the flow diverter 30 is constituted by a flow control element which is formed by a first flat portion 35 and a second flat portion 36, which are mutually inclined so as to form in practice an L-shape.

The flow control element (the flow diverter 30) is pivoted to the cover 22 along the line that divides the flat portions 35 and 36; said portions are adapted to block a respective first or second port depending on the angular position assumed by the flow control element about its own hinge axis.

In order to allow movement of the flow control element, there are means 37 for the actuated movement of the flow diverter which act on said flow control element.

In this embodiment, the actuated movement means 37 comprise an electromagnet 38, which is actuated for example by a humidity sensor 39, which, when the previously programmed percentage of humility is reached, transmits the pulse to said electromagnet, which performs a translational motion and pushes against the second flat portion 36, with consequent rotation of the entire flow control element about its own hinge axis and with the opening of the second port 33 and closure of the first port 32.

A secondary compartment 41 is provided inside the box-like container 21, is separated from the compartment 23 by means of a thin wall 40 and is designed to accommodate electrical and electronic means 42 for supplying power and managing the system (shown schematically in broken lines in FIG. 3).

The electrical and electronic means 42 comprise for example an electronic board with a programmable microprocessor, a small low-power consumption transformer (from 230 V to 12 V) for supplying power to the electric motor of the extractor, an additional 0.5 VA transformer (which allows to further reduce electric power consumption) to supply power to the humidity sensor 39 (with an adjustment which can be calibrated), a potentiometer for adjusting the speed of the electric motor of the extractor, a potentiometer for varying the management times of the various electronic components, and a sensor 43 for detecting the presence of the user, as described hereinafter more clearly, which is capable of detecting the presence of the user and of establishing electronically which of the two body functions the user is performing.

In this embodiment, an additional covering element 44 is associated with the cover 22 and has mainly aesthetic finishing purposes (the container of FIG. 3 lacks such a covering element 44) and is fixed to the cover 22 for example by means of a screw, shown schematically by means of a broken line and designated by the reference numeral 45 (or by means of another reversible fixing system).

Through openings 46 are provided in the additional covering element 44 and are adapted to allow air to access the second port 33 and consequently allow the extraction of air and vapors.

The humidity sensor 39 and the user presence sensor 43 are arranged for example on the additional covering element 44.

The user presence sensor 43 is constituted for example by a photocell (associated with an electronic program) which is capable of detecting the presence of the user and of establishing electronically which of the two body functions the user is performing. In practice, it switches on the extractor when the user approaches the toilet bowl and switches it off when the user moves away according to a programmed timing cycle.

In practice, the sensor is arranged above the toilet bowl and has a field of action which is inclined from above toward the toilet bowl, with a breadth which ranges from the wall to beyond the toilet bowl but adjacent thereto.

In this manner, the sensor can detect whether the user is sitting or standing near the toilet bowl, switching off the extractor if the presence in front of the toilet bowl does not reach a minimum programmed time; the electronic program associated with the sensor 43 allows, once the function being performed has been discriminated, to continue to keep the suction system on for a preprogrammed time.

This type of photocell, combined with the electronics, allows to reduce the operating times of the extractor and therefore reduce energy consumption and especially noise. As mentioned, this sensor has the importance of detecting the user in a very tight space and consequently avoids unnecessary startups of the extractor caused by people passing or crossing close to the toilet bowl.

FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate a second embodiment of the system, now designated by the reference numeral 100.

In particular, in this embodiment, the system 100 has a toilet bowl 114 of the wall-mounted type and comprises a frame 150 to be embedded in the wall of the room of the bathroom to which the toilet bowl 114 is adjacent.

The frame 150 is constituted for example by two uprights which have a C-shaped transverse cross-section, respectively a first upright 151 and a second upright 152, inside which pipes of said system are accommodated, and by cross-members, respectively an intermediate cross-member 153, a lower cross-member 154, and an upper cross-member 155 for connecting the uprights 151 and 152.

The cistern 113 of the flusher is fixed between the intermediate cross-member 153 and the upper cross-member 155 and the uprights 151 and 152, (the cistern is therefore recessed within the wall).

Two feet 156 for supporting and fixing to the floor, which can be adjusted in height, are present at the base of the uprights 151-152.

In particular, the flushing pipe 112 of the cistern 113 of the flusher is formed by a first substantially vertical portion 116, which connects the bottom of said cistern, and a second substantially horizontal transverse portion 117, which connects the first substantially vertical portion 116 to the inside of the toilet bowl 114.

The central part of the first substantially vertical portion 116 has a branch 157 which connects the flushing pipe 112 to the duct 118, which lies inside the wall, for connection to the inlet of the extractor means 111 (for example, the extractor 124 inserted in the wall-recessed box-like container 121, as in the previous example).

The box-like container 121 is recessed within the wall above the frame 150.

In particular, the pipe 115 for connection to the space outside the room is provided with a first portion 115 a, which is external to the frame 150 and protrudes from the extractor means 111, and in series thereto a second portion 115 b, which lies inside the second upright 152.

The duct 118, arranged inside the wall, for connection to the inlet of the extractor means 111; has a first portion 118 a, which lies inside the first upright 151 and a second portion 118 b, which lies above the upright and is connected directly to the extractor means 111.

In particular, the cross-section (shown in FIG. 7 and designated by the reference letter S) of the pipes of the system above the frame 150 (first portion 115 a of the pipe 115 for connection to the outside environment and second portion 118 b of the duct 118 for connection to the inlet of the extractor means 111) is oval, so as to allow to accommodate it between the outermost ribs of the hollow bricks which compose the wall into which the system is to be recessed.

The cross-section of the pipes of the system inside the uprights 151 and 152 is instead circular.

Advantageously, the intermediate cross-member 153 is tubular, and the means 119 for draining the water collected in the flushing pipe 112 after discharging the flusher are arranged inside said intermediate cross-member.

In this case also, the flushing pipe 112 of the cistern 113 of the flusher is formed by a first substantially vertical portion 116, which connects the bottom of the cistern 113, and a second substantially horizontal transverse portion 117, which connects the first substantially vertical portion 116 to the inside of the toilet bowl 114; the substantially vertical portion 116 and the second transverse portion 117 are connected by a bend 158, which passes through the intermediate cross-member 153.

The draining means 119 are constituted for example by the narrow pipe 120, which is connected, from the bottom of the second transverse portion 117 of the flushing pipe 112, to a point, at a hydraulic height which is equal to, or lower than, the bottom of the second transverse portion 117, of the pipe 115 for connection to the space outside the room (in this embodiment, the wastewater discharge duct of the toilet bowl 114).

The narrow pipe 120, which forms a siphon, is arranged inside the cross-member 153.

As already explained above, the extractor means 11 and 111 are functionally connected in input to the flushing pipe 12 and 112 and in output to a pipe for connection to the space outside the room, 15 and 115, which comprises the drain duct 15 a and 115 a for the wastewater of the toilet bowl 14 and 114 or other wastewater.

The draining tube 20, 120 connects the bottom of the transverse portion 17, 117 of the flushing pipe 12, 112 to said pipe for connection to the space outside the room 15, 115.

The extractor means 11, 111 comprise the extractor 24, which is accommodated within a box-like container 21, 121 which is recessed into the wall and is provided with a cover 22 with an air intake; inside said container there are the electronic means 42 for managing the fan, and a sensor 43 for detecting the presence of the user over the toilet bowl 14, 114 is provided on the covering element 44 of the cover 22.

In practice it has been found that the invention thus described achieves its intended aim and objects.

With the present suction system it is in fact possible to extract bad odors from the toilet bowl and if necessary extract humidity from the bathroom.

The compaction of the extractor means and of the electrical and electronic power supply and management means of the system into a single small box which is designed to be recessed inside a wall and is provided externally only with a cover allowing inspection makes the system easy to install and maintain.

Further, on-site assembly difficulties and times are eliminated, because the entire system is provided already completely assembled in the smallest details, including the electrical wires.

Moreover, the integration of the system in a preassembled frame to be recessed inside a wall allows to make the installation of said system simple and quick.

It is further possible to perform extraction from the flushing pipe of the flusher in an optimum manner, since by way of the draining means, the residues of water that obstruct or limit the cross-section of said pipe have been eliminated, thus allowing to use all kinds of toilet bowl.

Moreover, it can be stressed that this system:

-   -   can be installed in all private and public bathrooms;     -   can extractor stale air from the inside or outside of the         flusher and send it into the drain pipes inside the floor or         into other pipes or vents;     -   can be inspected easily;     -   has extremely low energy consumption, far lower than traditional         systems;     -   has an extremely low noise level;     -   allows to extract odors at the source, before they can expand         and saturate the environment and propagate to nearby rooms;     -   allows to eliminate odors, microbes and bacteria which would         form, due to the nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, ammonia,         methane and other gases, which in addition to being noxious         would stagnate in the furniture, walls, clothing of the people         themselves, especially in the bathrooms of public places such as         bars, restaurants, hospitals et cetera, with the risk of         transmitting infectious diseases;     -   allows to extract and expel only the amount of stale air that is         needed by means of a possible adjustment of the speed of the         extractor, thus also reducing energy consumption;     -   by means of the accurately designed electronic systems, the         photocell allows to determine which of the two body functions of         the user is in progress and accordingly to determine the time         for which said extractor is to operate, and to detect said user         in a very tight space, thus avoiding unnecessary startups caused         by passages and crossings close to said toilet bowl;     -   ensures maximum safety, because the extractor works at 12 V;     -   can be installed inside 8-cm walls;     -   is easy to install, reducing installation times, also by way of         the use of oval pipes, which allow to provide shallow chases,         thus leaving the strength of the masonry unchanged;     -   does not require particular preparation of the piping, which is         often expensive, because the expelled air is conveyed directly         into the drains;     -   allows to reduce water consumption, since in current practice it         is a good habit to use water several times to reduce odors         (noise is also reduced consequently);     -   allows to extract vapors and reduce the humidity produced by         showers, bathtubs, and uses of hot water, thus reducing the         formation of moulds et cetera, by way of a sensor which detects         electronically the percentage of humidity and gives clearance to         an electromagnetic which actuates an angular flow diverter which         is capable of opening and closing simultaneously and alternately         the air passage and of them starting the extractor at the         maximum speed, increasing the amount of humid air to be         extracted;     -   can be manufactured, due to its characteristics, in extremely         small shapes so that it can be installed even in existing         bathrooms both inside and outside the walls or existing flushing         cisterns;     -   is assembled and forms with the frame (which can be adjusted in         height) a single body with the pipes and the various components,         reducing considerably the time required for assembly on-site,         ensuring maximum safety and precision in installation and         functionality and thus avoiding any irregularities which might         occur in the building yard due to lack of suitable equipment or         adequate personnel;     -   can be used with all commercially available toilet bowls by way         of the draining system, which allows total extraction of odors         directly from the flushing pipe;     -   can be used to install a toilet bowl which hangs from a masonry         or plasterboard wall or is floor-mounted.

The invention thus conceived is susceptible of modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims; all the details may further be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.

In practice, the materials employed, so long as they are compatible with the specific use, as well as the dimensions and the shape, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
